Dreamcast Widescreen Hacks

IIRC, thoss games have their timing hard-coded, so an overclock of 20% makes them 20% faster. It might be very hard to change the speed-fps locking in that case.

 

Esppiral the Master of the widescreen Is there any chance for MSR PAL widescreen code? I know its a hard one but it would be great if you can try one more time to find the right code.

 

You might need to do the opposite of what you're doing here. Instead of changing the mode you might have a better chance nop'ing the loop inside the framebuffer function. This would give you either 15FPS or 60FPS depending what that jumpto function does.

 

As Ive said I no longer have a Pc... T_T

Changing the las "1" to 2, 3, 4 will result in 30- 20- 15 fps and so on but the game will slow down as well, I can't keep lokking in to it so please anyone try a different approach.

 

The debugger on Demul is trash, I can't do anything with it. :/

 

Tried myself. Nothing so far.

 

As I mentioned several pages back, just download a save file with the in-game option unlocked and use that. The only advantage a code would give you is that you don't have to unlock it first.

 

You have to enable the widescreen cheat before every single race, navigating though all those tedious menus.

Thats why I searched for a ws patch for that game in the first place.

 

Since my Pc is dead and god knows when I will be able to afford a new one... I will post a zip containing all the cheat engine tables for the games I was working on, it is pretty messy... it contain widescreen for games such space channel 5 hud fix for shenmue and the before mentioned 60fps hacks for some games.

Most are still WIP but I am sure it will be usefull for someone.

Oh it also contains some widescreen hacks for psx games there are around 200 games in total I think. (Psx + Dc)

Ugh, that widescreen option on MSR not only it's trash (the menu option logic is bugged) but it's also just reducing height. I'm gonna try to fix it.

EDIT: Not to mention that the math for the widescreen option is incorrect, so it's not real widescreen. I fixed that.

 

@Shenmue_Trilogy @S4pph4rad
I did it!!!

Forget the in-game cheat, it's not 16:9 and even what it tries to do is wrong.

Metropolis Street Racer (PAL)

Code:

16:9

02107FDC 3F99999A
0211253C 3F900000

Eyefinity

02107FDC 40666666
0211253C 3EC00000

Also, zero geometry missing in Eyefinity!

 

Cool! Thanks!

Could you take a look at Ecco the Dolphin? ^^'

 

I'll give it a try!

BTW, a blind port to NTSC. I'm sure it works.


Metropolis Street Racer (NTSC)

Code:

16:9

0210A01C 3F99999A
021146FC 3F900000

Eyefinity

0210A01C 40666666
021146FC 3EC00000

 

Thanks.

 

In Ecco the Dolphin (PAL), the address 0239D3A4 is responsible for the height. Changing it to 3F400000 would result into widescreen with reduced height. The address is inaccessible real-time, I need to find a way to access it.

 

Also modifying in the intro menu the address 2CFF7DE8 on Demul to 3F99999A results into widescreen but it doesn't work in-game and I don't find anything similar there for now.

 

@Esppiral

I think I finished your DC DEV BIOS work.

2C071558 3F400000
2C0ECD80 3F5D70A4

 

Wow I forgot abou that ^^'

 

I've done somthing similar on PS2 BIOS like a year and a half ago, check PCSX2 forums.
On PS2 is more solid though, it's more consistent.

 

Does this hack is for emulators only? i can't have 16:9 on my Dreamcast
